The tutorial which the questions are about can be found here http://gimpusers.com/tutorials/making-a-pencil-drawing-from-a-photo Hello maple58, i'll try to clear things up. Step 4 I think the value of 4 should be applied to Blur radius. The opacity slider is above the layer list. You can either use the slider to set a value of 50 or enter it directly in the box right to the slider. Step 5 Ignore the part up to the colon and then follow the instructions. right-click the layer in the Layers window and choose “Merge down” Step 6 The layer mode setting is directly above the opacity slider. It should say Normal. Click it or the arrow on the right and a drop down menu should open. Click on Dodge to make it the active layer mode.

PLEASE HELP :)
1) check that you have files in your {gimp installation
directory}/2.0/plug-ins/ and {gimp installation directory}/2.0/scripts/
directories (in Linux they are in /usr/lib/gimp and /usr/share/gimp
respectively, in Windows, somewhere under c:\Program Files\gimp)
(likely, otherwise you wouldn't be able to load/saves files). You should
have about 200 files in the plugins directory.
2) erase the pluginrc and menurc files in your .gimp-2.6 directory
(~/.gimp-2.6/pluginrc in Linux, c:\Documents en
Settings\{your_id}\.gimp-2.6\pluginrc in WinXP and somewhere equivalent
in Vista/W7) and restart Gimp, they should be rebuilt. In a normal gimp
installation, pluginrc is several thousands lines and lists close to 200
plugins, menurc is around a thousand lines.
This is EXACTLY what I did :
1) I re-installed it.
2) Took out ko from locale.
3) From my user, I scrolled down, and deleted Menurc, and pluginrc.
4) Started Gimp 2, and kept x-ing out the plug-in error.
5) Checked, Still the same 3 choices.

Re: [Gimp-user] Colour picker
Jeremy Nell wrote: What is the reason for the colour picker not being able to pick colours on layers outside of the currently active layer? I'm not on the design team, so what follows is pure speculation on my part, but it would seem to me that good interface design would be to have all tools work as closely to the same way as possible. Thus, if one cannot paint, draw, fill, or rotate, c. on any but the active layer, one would assume that the color picker would also work only on the active layer. But if you're going to pick colors off of some other layer than the active one, one would have to specify which layer one is picking the color from, as otherwise the tool would not know which color to select, that is, there might be content in more than one layer. So one would have to specify which layer to select from in any case, which means that in many instances, even if one could choose from a layer that is not active, it would be necessary to specify exactly which layer, and in this case, it is probably not any more effort to temporarily make the layer containing the desired color the active layer, and then switch back. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

One way to deal with it would be to have two concepts, active layers and selected layers. There is only one active layer, but there can be several selected layers. When you paint, the active layer is affected. When you free-transform, the selected layers are affected. Whenever there is only one selected layer, that layer is also the active layer.

I have a strong suspicion that the good image you obtained using GIMP may not be an accurate representation of the original source file.

Ray Tayek wrote: i put one here: http://tayek.com/bobt/images/page3.eps I looked at the contents of the source file. Ignoring the scaling factor in the image, all lines are 0.8 points with the exception of the outside border which has a width of 1.92 points. You can see the thicker border when the image is viewed with the ghostscript viewer program, gv. If the conversion from eps to something else doesn't produce an image with slightly thicker outside borders than the rest of the horizontal and vertical lines, you aren't getting a true view of the image. Any discrepancy could be due to a number of factor. Bugs in the code, for a start, or the size of the output image may be insufficient to allow you to see the different line widths. What might also be affecting image quality when using convert are options such as anti-aliasing. I just generated a 400x400 pixel image and the quality of the lines was not what I was expecting. Possibly a case of a program trying to be too helpful. http://tayek.com/bobt/images/gimp/dbp.html Hm... I'm starting to think these images have something to do with learning strategy for Go. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
